News just in: Fed frigs are utter shit until they buff drones and fedfrig HP/maneuverability.

Oh so wrong

Mate fed frigates are utter wank.

They sound good but are too weak to survive once someone sees them. I get two to three kills then I get noticed.

I am finding that all repair modules are rather worthless and a waste of a slot, other than that I am enjoying T2 goodness in Jericho

I am having reasonable success with tanking my Jericho Frig. Shield expander, resist thingy and booster. Once I start taking fire I start both the mods and then focus on killing. afterwards I boost back up. In many matches I can go from full to none to full to none to full again and keep on fighting.

I noticed people speaking very enthousiasticly about the Fed frigs, so I figured ther emust be some way to make them good. But I don't realy see how with that tiny HP-buffer. They have the best look by far tho.

Fed frigs are good for remote repairing and hiding near a friendly beacon/coming in as second line and rock-hopping so you don't get sniped.
Emp frigs are the long range doombots, but need LoS to be effective... solo they can get raped, in groups they can be more dangerous.
Jeri frigs have predator missiles. The -2km for their special isn't too bad, as they don't have to be sat out in the open and can curve it round rocks and shit.

Overall, I'm torn between the empire and jericho frigs... I have had success with the federation one, but most often I DIAF in it.

I swapped from Acid Hydra to the Jericho variant and I have to admit, I do think it is a bit squishy compared to my Acid Hydra, propably going back to Empire on Frigates, Hull tanking just seems to last a tad bit longer when focused.

I got them both.
Hawk is bloody fast but I can't seem to hit shit while beeing that fast.
Fox. Well. I expected an improvement of the T1 version, but it feels realy heavy and slow. Not impressed by it at all so far.
Started grinding up the Empire contracts aswell just to get them all and I realy see what people mean by Easy mode.
a T1 fighter with over 11.000 HP just in the hull is insane. It's agile as a ceptor and the damage? +66% dps in bursts. Fuck yea.

The Fed Ceptor and Jericho Ceptor are far better than the fat slow Empire ceptor, because while MWD is nice, it's slow as hell normally. Fighters, each special is good in its own right. Frigates, yeah, Fed loses hands down. At least at T2.
